VMS Help TCPIP Services, LPR_LPD, Remote UNIX Files  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Your system manager can set up a local print queue to handle
    print jobs for files sent from a remote UNIX host. To print UNIX
    files on an OpenVMS printer, the UNIX user enters an lpr command.
    (See the appropriate UNIX documentation.)

    Local queues set up to receive UNIX print jobs support layup
    definition files. These are files supported only by DIGITAL and
    used to set the following layup features: borders, sheet margins,
    alternating sheet margins, pages per sheet, first page, page
    order, and page grid.

    The following example sends UNIX file /usr/stanton/recent.cnts
    to OpenVMS print queue REMOTE_QUEUE4 and specifies the formatting
    defined in the layup file called layup3. The REMOTE_QUEUE4 print
    queue is set up as a remote queue in the printcap file by the
    system manager.

    % lpr -Llayup3 -Premote_queue4 /usr/stanton/recent.cnts
